Spoken-Word Poet Rudy Francisco Performs His Poem "Complainers"
/ fallontonight - Комедії
To see poetry on national television, to see one of the greatest art forms get some of the spotlight, to see one of my favorite poets kill it on stage...its amazing. It truly touches my heart.
Finally he gets some exposure imagine he did the starbucks chai latte poem that would've made me even more excited
iTeQz same that's one of my favourites
Emily It's so good i hope he gets to come back again soon
iTeQz its titled 'To the Girl Who Works at Starbucks...' which is actually featured in his book, reads as good as it sounds

I’ve been following Rudy for a while and I’m so happy to see him get here!!
Bree Casillas same he's my favourite poet that I've heard so far his words are so powerful! I'm so glad he's got this far
This is so dope! I remember doing open mics and college events with this guy when I was just barely getting started playing keys. Used to hate performing after him because he'd always have the crowd so mesmerized haha. Dude has always been incredible
Seeing Rudy get this kind of recognition warms my heart.
He is an absolutely *remarkable* poet and deserves every cheer, every clap, every tear his words bring to understanding eyes.
I'm here for Rudy!!! I love his mind so much!!!
" So it doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty, there's water in the cup . " ❤

Had to find this and listen again, after hearing it last night on the Tonight Show. Fabulous!
Look at Rudy!! So happy more people are getting to hear your poetry.
Seen him speak twice in public and I am so amazed at how far he has come in 6 years. Love you Rudy!

This one always makes me cry😭
His voice makes my heart beat fast, and his poems make me have a lump in my throat is amazing
Holy crap it’s Rudy!!!!! I love this guy
I’m so happy for Rudy. He is one my biggest inspirations when it comes to writing. Been following him for a while and I’m glad that his talent is finally being recognized. Awesome job. Much love from NY.
I'm so proud of him. I've been reading and listening to his poems for about 2 or 3 years. I am so happy for him.

Been following him for a few years now and love his work. Such a phenomenal artist!!
These are the heights just your words can take you. Beautiful
That was beautiful, and I'm so proud of him. My favorite poet up there changing the world of poetry
Aggreed.
Rudyyyyy! I'm so proud of you! Keep shining, brother!
I look up to Rudy so much. His talent is like non other. I’m so proud
HE IS MY FAVORITE! crying tears of joy so happy for you Rudy!
Rudy!!!!! Been following him for years, so happy to see him on bigger platforms
YESS RUDY! I watched this originally on Button & I'm so happy that's he's gotten this opportunity
I remember when I preformed a piece at my high school poetry slam and I got to meet Rudy Francisco, I was so happy that he was there. I am so happy to see him here, he is truly inspiring. A real hero.
Every single time, stop making me cry!!!
sooo immensely proud of rudy!!! one of my favorite poets, it's amazing he's getting the exposure he's always deserved!! congrats to you rudy!
Absolutely, life, each day, each moment, is a precious gift, for which we should be grateful!
Wow, it's so powerful. Yesterday I had a speaking engagement to the prisoners in prison and I was so worried what on earth should I speak about. Morale? Hope? Future? I totally had no idea. One thing I could think of was one sentence repeatedly appeared in my head, "you are still alive." So that was what I spoke to them about it. "Being alive".
Then today I watched Rudy's "Complainers" on Jimmy Fallon. It was the same "message" that I heard all day yesterday.
I guess it's the message that I need to tell myself; "You are alive. We are still alive. *So act like it* ."
Amazing and inspiring! We all should be thankful for life and appreciate the simple acts of kindness toward others and oneself. Peace and blessings.
Thanks to whomever likes this.
so proud of him! always been a fan of his work💙
I read this in his book and I cried lol well I cried throughout the whole book but this one was the one
life energy within the inner body is the gateway to stillness...your words put us there Rudy...❤💛💚

I'm so proud of you Rudy. Since 2011 I've loved you. I became a performance poet because of you. You inspired me to continue to trust in my process and be patient in the pattern I am creating. My poem "The Monolouge of a Stripper" gets so many good comments and liked by many so I'm going to keep pursuing my core's intent. I am so happy! You've come so far. We, as your fan-mily have come so far. So please, realise you''ve helped me as a Poet. I love you!!!!!!!!!

I've been following Rudy since a spoken word event in DC back in 2012 had the amazing opportunity to meet him briefly with my good friend Qui who opened my eyes to the world of spoken word. So excited for Rudy and his accomplishments since then! Actually have my own copy of 'helium' and even the written version of the spoken passion gives me chills that resemble the tremble and excitement in the voice of the performance of Rudy. My favorite of Rudy's will always be My Honest Poem. Spoke to me in 2012 and continues to check me going forward. Keep doing you Rudy, it's the truth.
Seriously amazing words!
This sent tingles down my spine
I'm so proud of Rudy 💖.
